Description
The 8-Foot High Temperature Tunnel (HTT) simulates true enthalpy at hypersonic flight conditions for testing advanced, large-scale, flight-weight aerothermal, structural, and propulsion concepts. The facility provides combustion-heated hypersonic blowdown-to-atmosphere simulation for Mach numbers of 4, 5, and 7 through a range of altitude from 50,000 to 120,000 feet.
